ATW St Neots Triathlon - Race 2

On Saturday, August 8th, 2026, the St Neots Triathlon returns as Race Two of the inaugural ATW First To Full Triathlon Festival. This year’s edition promises to be even more spectacular, offering both sprint and standard-distance races in a vibrant setting that caters equally well to seasoned athletes and newcomers.
The event kicks off at 8:55 AM with the Standard distance race (1500m swim, 45km bike, 10km run), followed by the Sprint race starting at 9:45 AM. Both races are draft-illegal, ensuring a fair competition where each athlete can focus on their own performance.
The St Neots Triathlon is renowned for its picturesque course and supportive atmosphere. The swim leg takes place in the serene River Ouse, offering participants a refreshing start to the day. Cyclists then tackle an exhilarating bike route that winds through charming villages before transitioning back into Riverside Park for the run segment along the river’s edge.
The event extends beyond racing with live entertainment, food stalls, and activities designed for all ages. Athletes can also opt for on-site camping Friday and Saturday nights to fully immerse themselves in the festival spirit. The town center is just a short walk away, making it an ideal weekend getaway for athletes and their families.
Competitors will receive custom-designed medals upon crossing the finish line, along with free event photos, snacks, and other goodies. A team of dedicated marshals ensures smooth operation throughout the race course, providing support at every turn.
For those looking to enhance their performance or simply ensure safety in open water, Zone3 wetsuits are available for hire on a daily basis as well as longer-term rentals through ATW’s partnership with Zone3.
Joining forces this year is the legendary Odyssey Triathlons and the epic 12-hour run, creating an unparalleled atmosphere of excitement. The St Neots venue offers not just fast racing but also a welcoming environment for triathlon newcomers to experience their first open-water event in a supportive setting.
